The Forest Hills Disaster was a railroad bridge accident that occurred on March 14, 1887, in the Roslindale section of West Roxbury, Massachusetts, at that time a separate town from the City of Boston. A morning commuter train, inbound to Boston, was passing over the "Bussey Bridge", a Howe truss, at South Street, in the Roslindale neighborhood a half mile from the Forrest Hills Station, when it just collapsed, sending several cars crashing to the street below. Twenty-four commuters were killed and another 125 were seriously injured.
